Liveweight data can help on-farm, from identifying underperforming stock to making more informed breeding and feeding decisions.
For many years, Gallagher’s Animal Performance software has helped dairy farmers unlock the power of liveweight data. It has now launched a new Lite version, allowing farmers to access the benefits for just $120 per year.
The new Lite subscription offers the ideal balance between simplicity, affordability, and smart functionality. With unlimited data storage and advanced mobile productivity tools via the Gallagher Animal Performance mobile app, farmers can track, view, and update individual animal records anywhere – no desktop required.
It also supports Gallagher’s key integration with LIC’s MINDA®, allowing liveweights recorded on-farm to sync instantly and automatically with the cloud-based herd management platform. This feature, previously available only through a full Animal Performance Plus subscription, is now part of the Lite plan – giving more farmers access to seamless, real-time data sharing.
For Mark Maitland, Gallagher’s Animal Performance and Traceability Business Development Manager, it’s a win for efficiency and decision-making.
“We know how valuable liveweight data is – but only if it’s easy to collect, easy to access, and actually used. Lite gives farmers a simple, cost-effective way to start that journey.” Gallagher’s Animal Performance and Traceability Business Development Manager Mark Maitland says.
The mobile app allows users to search for animals by EID or VID, view full data histories, and add alerts or notes on the go. Paired with Gallagher’s Wireless Load Bars (sold separately), the system can even turn a phone into a weigh scale – removing barriers to entry and making it easier to get started.
And because the data flows straight into MINDA®, farmers can act faster on what they see. Whether adjusting nutrition, identifying health concerns, or selecting replacements, every decision becomes easier with up-to-date information in hand.
Best of all, farmers retain full control of their data. “We’re not here to own farmer data,” says Mark. “We’re here to help farmers get more value from it – by making it available where and when it’s needed most.”
For those ready to begin tracking performance with confidence – without overcomplicating things – Animal Performance Lite is a smart first step.
